Amen to that. I’m all for SEPARATION including separation of government from big oil. Another case of corporate fascism. Until then we won’t have real free markets or competition in energy.

LoC, I’m all for it. As long as the government doesn’t use my tax dollars to pay for it (or, more realistically, borrow more money from the Chinese to pay for it).

Stop the welfare to anyone, individual or corporate.

I love that video and am into the Russian abiotic theory. Of course you have to be “off the corporate plantation” to be able to promote a lot of the alternative ideas.

Ya know, a lot of innovative things have occurred since the Taft presidency.

Biovoltaics, for instance, the use of biological substances to produce energy or fuels. Grass, corn, soybeans, and trees don’t just grow (and renew) in Austria.

I wonder why TR’s only interest is in drilling for crude…? It’s not an either-or situation where we must a) EITHER drill for oil OR b) move to Austria. Our choices and options have improved a bunch since Taft as well. We can do all those things, and more, and become self-sustaining in our energy needs.

Wouldn’t you rather increase the tax base WHERE YOU LIVE? Wouldn’t you rather become energy independent WHERE YOU LIVE? Do you have some psychological need to stay dependent upon fundamentalist authoratarians who hate us? (And, here, I’m speaking about our home-grown energy industrialists.)

I love how the first video simultaneously brings the Baldwin and posits silver (it never loses value!) is somehow immune to supply and demand.

Wacky fun!

We do, indeed, have all the energy resources we need:

Lindsey Williams gives a talk based on his book, The Energy Non Crisis. This book exposes the fact that there is more than ample oil underneath U.S. soil to meet our energy demands for hundreds of years, and how the powers that be are withholding this information (not to mention the oil) from the American people.

Or we can move to southern Austria, where the streets are heated by biovoltaics and other types of androids.

Fossil Fuel – DEAD.
Ethanol – More of the Same.
There’s a tiny village in southern Austria that used to be the poorest in the country, but they’ve turned that around and increased their tax base by 300% by introducing biofuels, solar, and photovoltaics into the grid. Now, a population of over 72,000 is completely and utterly OFF THE GRID of the fossil fuel ecnomony, and they did it within 14 yrs. This year, they have so much excess energy, they’re tearing up the streets and installing waterlines that will HEAT THE STREETS during winter! More than 60 companies have relocated to this region. Why? Because the city is able to guarantee them that their energy costs will remain at the same level for the next 25 years! So, don’t tell me we have to continue to buy the party line that we must depend on foreign oil for our energy. We have all the energy resources we need: Grass, corn, wood chips, wind, solar…on and on. We need to divorce ourselves from the oil industry and quit letting Opec, China, Russia, & Oil Lobby rule our world and wreck our economy. We need to divert the billions that are going to prop up a clearly unstable Iraq (oil market) and put it back into OUR country, and allow our farmers to provide the energy resources we need.

“Crystal supply.” Yes. I do indeed like the sound of that.

OOPS! I now realize that comment could be offensive to some females and/or bug enthusiasts and I may have just exposed PeachPundit.com to the possibility of a lawsuit.

Surely they will be willing to settle for $100,000, right?

Does anybody know how difficult it is to mount a snail darter?

Please Keep the taxpayers out of the oil shale business. Maybe just maybe we have enough conservatives left in the world to at least research the problems with oil shale. Why don’t we just let the gubment stick to the basics, like Building museums for snail darters and studying the mating habits of the pine weasel.

You did, but the location of the dilithium crystal supply was known only to Saddam, he is dead, and the entire world supply was secreted into Syria.
